Click on the Logo, type in your name & see how many people in this country have your name.
Don't forget to tell it you are over 13.
I am the only one with my name - no one else would want it LOL.

mine says 2.. this does not account for another spelling of my name I'm sure.. I found out of another with my same name @ the eye Dr office..
I asked how much I needed to pay on my bill.. I did not spell out my first name.. they said I showed no balance due.. But I had just had an appointment the previous week and knew there WAS a balance.. just couldn't remember how much.. I argued with her YES I do owe something and want to pay it.. When I asked to make sure it didn't get put under hubbies name she said no not under... I said.. NOOO My hubbies name is.. She said.. oops looking at wrong account.. Heh.. unusual as my name may be.. two of us living 15 miles from each other.. Her Name is Jeanna*I think that is how it is spelled* though not Gina...

You must be kidding!
I'm thousands miles away and loook what my statistic says:
*There are fewer than 1,526 people in the U.S. with the first name Ivica.
*There are 2,808 people in the U.S. with the last name Kolar.

That's funny Ivica. I'm Yugoslavian so I'll bet my last name is popular there. My grandfathers last name was Jursic (~ above the c) & they tried to americanize the spelling when he came here by boat...completely different spelling. J's are pronounced like a Y there. _________________ Patty

We have no c character with ~ above but c with´ and c with ˇ above.
Searching Croatia phonebook I have found:
87 people with last name Jurshic, sh stands for s with ˇ above, c is with ´
0 people for Jurshic, c with ˇ above.
0 people for Jursic, c with ´
0 people for Jursic, c with ˇ
Most lastnames here ends with ic, c is with ´ above. _________________

BTW:
Both c (c with´ and c with ˇ above) are pronounced quite similar,
like ch in Cheers. C with ´ is softer version of ch, to pronounce that
move tongue half of inch closer to teeths than usualy while saying Cheers.
S with ˇ above pronounces like sh in Sheet. _________________

Well explained Ivica. C with the - above is pronounced as ch. I always forget what that symbol is called, so I call it a "thingy above c" LOL.
Thanks for checking...I wonder if some of those are my relatives! _________________ Patty

Ivica you got me going again! My grandmothers name was Helen & I'll have to find (or remember) the papers that state her real last name. My grndfathers name was Frank.
"dj pronounse as G in Giordano"
Yes, there is soft G & hard G. Soft G is dj or J, & hard G is hmmmmm....like in Andy Gibb..or, give...
I hope I have my grandparents "papers" filed right. I will have to find them to look up my grandma's maiden name (I forgot it) when she came here on the boat. My cousin found them & sent me copies from Ellis Island N.Y. I don't know right off where they are. _________________ Patty
